Jeremy Saw Daniel Tindall at Dinner


Dear Moma and Popa,

I am so glad to hear about Jordans and Grandpas birthdays. I had to share with my District that It was both my brothers birthday on the seventh and my Grandpas birthday was on the Eighth. So Everyone Got to know. One thing I have noticed this week and in past weeks are the many blessing I have received. Everyday I know I am blessed and I know I am blind to these blessings until I pray to Heavenly Father to help me recognize my blessings. One that has hit me hard this week is My Fellow Missionaries. I have heard these stories about missionaries and how they are not here for the right reason. Just like Elder Ropers experience. I have a great companion. He and I get along just like brothers. On top of that we are missionaries together, so it is even better. We have our differences, but we are more then willing to help each other develop Christ-Like attributes.  I am blessed with wonderful roommates too. Elder Ryan is from Alabama and he is one for five members of the church from his school. I can not imagine what that must be like. Elder Briggs is another companion that I look up to. He looks like Hurcules. He has family at home in Sandy that are being blessed by his service. Elder Rottler is just Great. I know you will hear more about him. We all get along great and I know that we are ablessed for that. 
I know I am blessed with my family too. I never realized this, but other missionaries have unsupportive Family. Writing letters expressing disappointment and desire for them to return home. I know I can not express enough how blessed I am to have the family and friends I have.  And then Mail. We all know how much I love mail. I receive uplifting mail for my friends and family. The Lord knows my needs and desires and blesses me even before I ask. Another blessing is being able to see my Friends, Daily! I was able to see Elder Tindall yesterday. The day he came into the MTC I was able to see him at Dinner. Tell Sisar ja Veli Tindall I saw their little Vanhin! 
I have pictures that I need to send home so I will do that. I also have pictures that will be coming for other Sisarets in my District. And form Vanhin Rottlers Family. That is another blessing. My District. We are such a family. We tease and uplift just like brothers and sisters. We were told by one of our favorite teachers that we have been hand picked by to serve In Finland. Our calling to be together is divine. We are together for a reason. We all have something to teach/share our fellow Elders and Sisters. I am sorry that my englanti is so bad. I describe it as being in between two languages. Some things come naturally others come through translating. 
Three week mark was yesterday! Seven more weeks!!! we are a little excited to leave. Our Papa Eestis Leave in two weeks. Everything is going at such a rapid pace. I know i have mentioned this before, but Tuesdays and Sundays are some of my favorite days, next to Thursdays when i can email and write my letters. I look forward to these days because I am able to Feast upon the Spirit. Just like everyday, but those days we have Devotionals. Wow. our Devotionals.
Fun Fact. I am being moved to the West MTC. I will have more information next week. We are moving at the end of this month. 28th or 29th. Only six Districts were chosen. The LORD has faith and trust in us. 
(ps. could you send me more ties too? Jeff and Jon know what i am talking about.)
I love you all so much. Keep sending your letters. I love them. I hope you are able to see all the blessing our Father in Heaven gives unto us. I am humbled every day.
I am sorry this is so short. I love you!!! Let me know if you need anything. wow. I LOVE YOU ALL. The Kirkko on totte!!
Vanhin Sandberg
